Overview
Once you have created a playlist in BUILD, you can add it to your SCHEDULE, where it will dynamically insert ad breaks, in a block of programming that can range from 15 minutes to 24 hours. This can be used to create ordered playlists out of any kind of mix of short form and long form content.
Create a playlist
A new playlist can be created by click on the CREATE PLAYLIST button.
The first step is to upload the artwork assets for the playlists. This is optional. Square images require a minimum resolution of 720x720 pixels and must have a 1:1 aspect ratio. Rectangular images require a minimum of 720 pixels and can have any aspect ratio other than 1:1
The next step is to fill in the playlist metadata. Only the title is required.
Clicking on Create Playlists will create the new playlist and it will reflect in the list of all Playlists.
